Abstract
To improve the ultrasonic inspection of the safe ends connecting the nuclear vessel to the piping, we are conducting modeling studies using two models: PROMANIS, a ray tracing code, and ULTSON, a 2-D finite element code. The study has shown a great interest in combining modeling and experiments to improve the codes and react to the experimental conditions.
